Trading Options: Calendar Spread (Setting Up the Calendar)

Sasha, The bracketed number next to the IV is not a percent variation. It is the dollar amount of expected move.But good video anyway.

thank you, excellent video.

Excellent video on calendar spreads.

Александр, здравствуйте. Могу задать Вам вопрос на русском языке?

Well done and thank you for taking the time.

thank you for explaining .but, it's kind of confusing when you hit the "sell" on ask (5.09), instead of hitting on the bid price !!
(it makes people swear, for 2-3min.)

Sir can you please suggest a virtual option trading platform for me to practice this concept ?

Friend. Know onwards I will promote your youtube channel. You deserve more subscribers

when i tried a similar trade I was alerted by my trading platform that the offset in the expiration dates could leave me with an uncovered position..How could this occur?

"STAACK" it's stock

Good video. I have learned a lot from your Options teaching.

So how do lean more delta vs vega? Please explain the actual process how do do this etc

iron condors are easier, more better and then you can buy a put or call each 10 iron condors to offset losses.

we are in such a low iv environments and selling credit spreads it just does not work. I have 5 credit spreads 40 days out with a delta of .25 and 9 out of them are loosing bad while the other one is not as bad but still loosing as days passes. I did went out of the money 1.5 standard deviation, with mid 30s to 40s iv rank but still I am getting crushed bad. Luckily every position I have is very small. what would you recommend in this low iv environment calendar spreads?

this is rad dude.

Sasha what software do you to plot your risk profile?

Open question.. calendars are vega positive, but volatility moves differently for different months. On a recent NDX calendar, the NDX dropped and the vol on the back month went from 16 to 17 while the front month went from 14 to 17. So…. does the TOS position vega overstate the true vega due to this? thanks in advance, all.

awesome video, sasha is there a way to find out before hand how much can  you make on  your calendar spread? also is there a way to find out which calendar spread is better call calendar or put calendar?

It is a horisontal calendar, but weekly OTM diagonal calendar spread is a monster-theta eater! Спасибо Санек, у тебя классные видео!! Надеюсь уеду в Австралию, стану богатым, будет больше общего между нами )

In this video, any reason for selecting "single" option twice (once for each leg of this calendar spread trade), instead of just selecting "calendar" from the TOS sub-menu?

Thanks for the video. Was wondering when you said if you have multiple contracts to close them out over time to catch profit, how do you do that? Do you just use to arrow key near the number and it automatically closes that contract for profit or is there another process?

Good video. If volatility increase positively impacts on a long calendar and volatility increases usually when a stock goes down, I would probably do the opposite as the video suggests. That is to position the calendar a little bit positively so the loss in delta can be compensated by increase in vega, and vice versa.

Great video Sasha, but I have a question: suppose your front/back months are 30/60 days, and after 20 days from initiating the trade (a Call Calendar), the stock trades above your strike price, but below your upper breakeven point. Now you have an unrealized profit from time decay, but what happens if you get assigned on your short Call since it's ITM now? How do you profit from this situation?…… Thx

Great videos Sasha. Your way of teaching is the most simplest and to the point. All the best!

nice video. sasha why not make this education  free. About indepth video's I am in the middle of building a website that will change the game.. entering criteria, adjustments to all spreads, butterflies, broken wing butterflies how to lock in profits all for free….. when to buy call or put calendar spreads, first check the value of jelly roll. just give me a month  people. you will get 1000's of dollars worth of education at a cost of ZERO. and I will double the offer with my everyday trading absolutely free of charge. why?. cause I am making tons of money actually trading, not teaching. keep up the good work sasha. cheers

Great video, your explanations are always the best. 

Great video Sasha. You have a good, clear teaching voice too. Thanks
